SCOTLAND- King Of Kings 2014

[mcbroon]

Less than three weeks to go - getting excited now

We've had two stonking days in a row over here on the east coast. Fingers crossed it holds out until the end of the month (I know, nae chance).

Virtuocity, any ideas on when you're going to do the draw?

Got a new G25 3 wood in time for St Andrews.

Just need to decide if it's the driver or the 4 iron that misses out on the trip.

I like to plan a little in advance, so if the first ballot is Sunday 30th March 2014 at 12:56, what time are people going to be getting there? Where are we meeting? Should I just head to the driving range at 11am to find you all warming up?

 

[virtuocity]

I'll be in the bar drinking until 1255

No idea whether we should all meet at the same time, would be useful come to think of it. Can anyone recommend a place to meet?

Is the driving range close to the New Course?

I will do the draw over the weekend.

The New clubhouse is the ideal meeting place, right next to the 1st tee, ready parking food, coffee and beer. I'd suggest if we all meet up there between 12 and 12.30 we's have loads of time to say hello and get organized.

To avoid mixing it up with the New Club, which is something else entirely, I mean this place

You can't miss the New Course clubhouse - follow the road down past the R&A clubhouse and round the beach - I'll be the idiot shanking it down the range (with a red shirt on) from about 11am

Is there a range beside the New Course? From a look at the map on the website, the 'main' range looks like it's over beside the Eden course. Is that a trek, or is it easy to get to?

Not that it matters to me, of course. I'll probably screech into the car park at 12.53-and-a-half hoping that my clubs and shoes are still in the boot... :mmm:

Ha ha, good shout! I'll try and stay off the beach, too

I'll be at the Links Academy early for a warm up before heading into town for about 12pm.

What tees are we playing off?

 

[stevek1969]

The range is only 5 minutes away in a car , you can cut in at Granny Clarks Wynd and and drive across the old course and park in the Links clubhouse which is really nice, enjoy your day lads the New is a great course

 

[davidy233]

It's not far - here's street view from the corner of the 17th on the Old - spin it round and you can see academy and New Course clubhouse

Cool, cheers for that. I'd settle for the same weather they had the day they took that photo

 

[davidy233]

I'm off to the St Andrews Links range for a hit now, could go to Royal Whitfield but St Andrews is nicer - just for those of you who are working today :fore:

 

[davidy233]

The 18th on the new course this afternoon

 

[virtuocity]

Good stuff!

We'll play off the whites if we're allowed.

Thanks IanG for checking into that for me. WE'LL ALL MEET AT THE NEW COURSE CLUBHOUSE BETWEEN 12 AND 12.30 seeing as it's close to the first tee.

 

[will_i_dream]

Well in that case I think I'll get there early, enjoy the clubhouse and get myself some lunch from about 11:30
If I keep my jacket on the muscles will stay warm for teeing off
